Abstract

Nursing
Epidermolysis bullosa is an inherited skin disease that leads to an array of medical problems. Patients are susceptible to blistering and scar formation following even minor trauma. These patients may present with scarring, limiting the range of motion of their temporal mandibular joint. This case report describes a 15-year-old patient with epidermolysis bullosa presenting for contracture release, with a difficult airway.
